Effects of omecamtiv mecarbil and mavacamten in isolated human atrium
Heart failure is a syndrome that can result from impaired heart muscle contractions like in dilative cardiomyopathy but also from hypertrophic...

Effect of earth-sheltering and atrium form and proportion integration on energy and lighting performance optimization in a hot arid climate of Mashhad, Iran
It is essential to incorporate energy-efficient strategies into designs to minimize building energy consumption. Atrium and earth-sheltering are...

Mechanical concordance between left atrium and left atrial appendage in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: can it be exploited to avoid transesophageal echocardiography prior to electrical cardioversion during Covid-19 pandemic?
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the gold standard for assessing left atrial appendage (LAA) mechanic and thrombosis (LAAT); however, TEE is...

Left atrial strain parameters derived by echocardiography are impaired in patients with acute myocarditis and preserved systolic left ventricular function
Purpose : Data derived by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking suggest that not only left ventricular but also left atrial function is...

Reconstruction of the left atrium for atrial fibrillation ablation using the machine learning CARTO 3 m-FAM software
PurposeAtrial fibrillation (AF) ablation requires a precise reconstruction of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PV). Model-based FAM (m-FAM)...

Seismic Response Mitigation of Atrium Buildings with Truss-IMD System
In this paper, a novel truss-inertial mass damper (IMD) system is developed for seismic response mitigation of atrium buildings with an internal...

Prognostic value of left atrial strain in patients with tetralogy of fallot
To demonstrate prognostic utility of left atrial strain (LAS) in adult patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). Adults patients with rTOF...

Left atrial conduit strain derived from cardiac magnetic resonance is an independent predictor of left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy
BackgroundIn some patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), left ventricular (LV) function improves with medical assistance, resulting in left...

Left atrial strain evaluation to assess left ventricle diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a guide to clinical practice
Although frequently unrecognized, left atrium (LA) function plays a key role in global cardiac performance as it modulates left ventricle (LV)...

Reduction plasty for giant left atrium causing dysphagia: a case report
The giant left atrium is described as an atrium with a diameter of 6.5 cm or larger and which can rarely cause dysphagia by compressing on the...

Thoracoscopic surgical atrial fibrillation ablation in patients with an extremely enlarged left atrium
PurposeEfficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) decreases as left atrial (LA) volume increases. However, surgical AF...

Thoracoscopic surgery for atrial fibrillation in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava: a case report
BackgroundA persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is an anomaly of the thoracic venous system that flows into the right atrium via an enlarged...

Mitral valve repair with patch augmentation for atrial functional mitral regurgitation complicated with giant left atrium
ObjectiveWe aimed to assess the results of posterior leaflet augmentation with an autologous pericardial patch in atrial functional mitral...

Recognition and management of left atrial dissection during mitral repair
BackgroundLeft atrial dissection (LAtD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of mitral valve surgery. Its management is not well...

Mitral annuloplasty with the interatrial groove-left atrial dome approach in a patient with Marfan syndrome
BackgroundThe choice of mitral valve surgical approach has always been a difficult problem in patients with small left atrium.
Case presentation ...

Significant dependency of left atrial strain on left ventricular longitudinal motion
BackgroundThe effects of left ventricular longitudinal function on the left atrial strain, including the left atrial reservoir function, have not...

Huge left atrial myxoma: about 2 cases resected in the Democratic Republic of Congo
BackgroundMyxoma is the most common cardiac tumor, found in 75–80% of cases in the left atrium. It can grow quietly and therefore reach a large size...

Investigating the importance of left atrial compliance on fluid dynamics in a novel mock circulatory loop
The left atrium (LA) hemodynamic indices hold prognostic value in various cardiac diseases and disorders. To understand the mechanisms of these...

An adult with left isomerism having an interrupted inferior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava associated with partial atrioventricular canal defect and complete heart block — a case report
BackgroundPersistent left superior vena cava is a well-recognized thoracic venous abnormality, most of which do not present with any symptoms. Its...
